15 Jan.: Two Pitt PhD programs (Literature and Culture; Interdisciplinary Film Studies w/ Slavic concentration)

[Nancy Condee]

The University of Pittsburgh Slavic Department invites applications to its
program, which provides a full range of courses with particular strengths in
the study of contemporary Russian culture, Russian and Soviet cinema, and
Russian Romanticism. Our program has recently supported such dissertations
as Soviet postmodernist culture, Thaw cinema, culture of the Belomor Canal,
post-Soviet philosophy, the Soviet anekdot, and Stagnation-era television
serials.  Over the past decade, all PhD recipients have received academic
job offers or prestigious post-doctoral fellowships, including from
Dickenson, Johns Hopkins, Miami University of Ohio, Princeton, Stanford
Humanities Center, University College London, Vanderbilt, and William and
Mary.

 

PhD students receive extensive mentoring; they participate regularly at a
relatively early stage in international conferences.  They also help
organize the annual Russian Film Symposium (http://www.rusfilm.pitt.edu); or
edit and publish the Department's journal, Studies in Slavic Cultures
(http://www.pitt.edu/~slavic/sisc/).  Alongside primary study, students
typically obtain MA or PhD certificates in one or more interdepartmental
programs: 

.       Cultural Studies (http://pitt.edu/~cultural/)

.       Film Studies (http://www.filmstudies.pitt.edu/)

.       Russian and East European Studies (http://www.ucis.pitt.edu/crees/) 

.       Women's Studies (http://www.wstudies.pitt.edu/) 

By the time they receive their PhD, students will have teaching experience
in culture, cinema, language, and literature courses in both team-taught and
stand-alone formats.

 

Before the Slavic PhD comprehensive examinations, eligible Slavic PhD
students can apply to transfer to Pitt's Interdisciplinary Film Studies PhD
(with a concentration in Slavic), thereby working towards a single PhD in
two disciplines.  For information, see
http://www.filmstudies.pitt.edu/graduate/phd.html. 

 

Financial aid (non-teaching fellowships and teaching assistantships) is
available to qualified applicants. Applications will be accepted until 15
January. Applications must be submitted electronically at
https://app.applyyourself.com/?id=up-as.  For more information about
academic programs, faculty, students, alumni, application procedures, and
deadlines see  http://www.slavic.pitt.edu/.
